About the Item

We are delighted to offer this fine Victorian solid silver cigarette case made in London 1894 with marks for Wright & Davies and Peake & Co (likely later retailed). Whilst modest and unassuming upon first glance, this cigarette case is a wonderful and meticulously crafted example with its quality and attention to detail being superior to most counterparts of its period. The overall case is made from a good gauge of silver with a reassuring and solid feel in hand. Furthermore, its overall curvature is a wonderful touch, allowing for the case to sit flush against the thigh or rib cage depending on whether it is stored in your trouser/blazer pocket. The front side is finely hand-engraved with two crests, adding just the right touch of embellishment and contrast to its minimalist design, presenting an unmistakable and classically stylish Victorian antique appearance. The lid is spring-loaded and opens with the press of the side button and can be opened with one hand - the mechanism remains smooth, strong and crisp upon closure, a further testament to its overall quality. The interior is fully silver gilt (gold on top of solid silver) which not only creates a lovely contrast to its exterior silver colour but adds a layer of protection to prevent the content held within from tarnishing the silver. Oweing to its stylish and practical proportions, this case could be used to hold short cigarillos/short cigarettes or other small articles of your preference. A distinguished and timeless design, ideal for the discerning individual and bound to be a conversation starter upon usage. A full set of matching hallmarks are present on both sides of the interior. *All images with other items are for display purposes; this listing is for the title item only.
